WHO WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT FANMAKERS IN CANON ERA
The fan manufactories,15 in number, employ in Paris 534 men, 500 women, and 166 children, besides 1200 fan-stick makers in the department of the Oise, whose total annual wages amount to 684,390 fr.; the product of fans is 1,013,000 fr., of which, to the value of 1 00,000 fr . are sold in France.

The story of Poland under partition, seen through a foreigner's eyes.
A really interesting multimedia primer to the situation of Poland through the 19th and early 20th century, largely drawing off Georg Brandes’ work.
Some more interesting fanmaking info from that book, Reports by the Juries on the Subjects in the Thirty Classes (1850):
The number of fan-makers or Eventaillistes in Paris in 1827, was 15, who employed 1,010 workmen (344 men, 500 women, and 166 children), and sold about 40,420 l worth of fans.
According to Statisque sur l’Industrie à Paris”, drawn up by our colleagues M.Natalis Rondot and M.Say, it appears that in 1847 there were 122 fan-makers, comprising chamber-masters as mounters, feuillistes, painters and colourers. The value of the fans made was 110,000 l. These masters employed 575 workpeople (262 men, 264 women, 29 youths, and 20 girls). The workmen on average earn 3 s, and the women 1s 8d per day. The men were for the most part copper-plate engravers and printers, lithographic draughtsmen and printers, painters, and colourers; the women were mounters, illuminators, painters, colourers, and overlookers. This in twenty years, it appears that the produce in fans had increased in value nearly threefold, whilst the number of workpeople had diminished to one half. This change is to be attributed to the employment of machinery...”
it looks like in 1828, Feuilly’s part of a pretty small group of workers?
“ Pilf I would LOVE to have more context for working class political movements in canon era! Where can I look that won’t require reading an entire textbook?” says no one at all! But here are some resources anyway, in handy easy-to-read online overview form!
